In advancing this belief we maintain that the arts should be accessible and affordable to all. To raise public awareness on the importance of the arts, we sponsor a variety of events. We envision championing the arts in all forms as key to sustaining economic growth and a diverse, resilient, strong and vibrant community. Please join us by supporting our mission and our events that are bound to make a measurable difference in the quality of life in our city and state.

Building A Brighter Future For The Arts



East Providence Heritage Arts Inc. is partnering with RI Songwriters Association
to start a new coffeehouse which will be located in the cafeteria of the
East Providence Senior Center at 610 Waterman Avenue, East Providence, RI.

The first show will be on Friday, September 13, 2024 with Louise Mosrie headlining and Tom Smith opening the show. Singer/songwriter Louise Mosrie hails from Tennessee, with a beautiful voice, and a talent for story-telling in every song. She's won several performing songwriter awards (Solarfest, Wildlflower!), as well as awards for her songwriting at the Kerrville Folk Festival
New Folk Songwriting Competition 2009 & 2020, (www.louisemosrie.com).

Hailing from Massachusetts, Tom Smith is a well-known talent in the New England folk scene
and beyond or as one fan commented: "If you could combine the DNA of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie with that of Robert Frost and Kermit the Frog you would end up with someone
very much like Tom Smith.” (www.tomsmithmusic.com)

Admission is free and refreshments will be available for purchase.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., show 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.

The second show of the season will be Friday, September 27 and will showcase the four rotating hosts of the Rhode Island Songwriters in the Round shows, now in its 21st season:
Allison Rose, Joanne Lurgio, Jim Tata and Jan Luby.
